A couple days ago Rick hooked a big trout and since I was close by I stopped fishing to net it for him. (Something we do for each other if we are close and not hooked up to a fish.) So I netted the fish, gave him the net to hold and retrieved the camera out of the pack. It was a nice fish so I wanted a quick photo. Another fisherman had been watching us and said to Rick, "That's pretty good. She can net your fish and take your picture." Can you guess Rick's response? He smiled and replied, "And she catches fish, too."
For some odd reason, that reminded me of a saying Rick gave me a long time ago and I've always kept tucked away.
A woman can be taught to cook, mow the lawn, wash the car, and tie flies. She can be trained to clean the house, carry out the trash, walk the dog, can albacore and smoke salmon. Through practice, she may even improve her facility at certain more personal marital duties.
But if she doesn’t clean fish before you’re married, it’s a cinch you’re not going to get her to do it afterwards.
